RAILROAD WREOKERS.
Suits to be Instituted Against Jay Gould
and Russell Sage.

NEW Ye.E, MAY 25-Ihe Comnercial-Ad
~vertiser says a lawsuit involving several mil.
lien dollars is about to be begun against Jay
Gould and Russell Sage, ~ trustees Of the
consolidated mortgage OF the Kansas Pacific
railroad by foreign holders Of ponds issued
under mortgage. Certain facts were ELECTED
during the recent examination into the affairs
of the Pacific road by the United States rail
road commission which have long been sus-
pected by interested parties, but which they
were unable to prove. New the very matters
they were in the dark about are made clear to
them, and the suit SO long held in allegiance
will be- the result.
GROUNDS On WHICH THE SUIT Is BASED.
1t is stated that In 1879, when the plan to
consolidate the Kansas and Pacific and Union
Pacific roads was about to be carried into
effect, Sidney Dillon, by preconcerted ar
rangement, had an attorney bring action
against Gould and Sage as trustees Of the
great Kansas Pacific blanket mortgage, to re-
lease 80, 600 shares of Denver Pacific stock
from lien OF mortgage. This stock was
worth 500 per share par, but al this time was
OF no great market value. In this unique
case, In place of the ordinary legal delays
answer was served on the following day and
application TO judge Danohuc fer the appoint.
ment Of w. II. Ruggles as referee, ami within
the next two or three days a so-cailed trial
was had before the referee, during which Dill
Ion testified that the Denver Pacific stock was
worth about 500, 600 OF $500, 600, though it's
face value was s co. 900. The report made
was confirmed, judgment entered and the
$3.50, 600 worth OF stock released from lien
OF mortgage and transferred to Gould
ana Sage es individuals. The whola suit in.
volving so large a sum Of money was con-
cciyed, commenced and ended inside Of one
week. On the same day or the day after the
stock was transferred, consolidation was con.
sunmated and shortly after Denver Pacific
stock became worth its face value Had II re-
NAMED under lien OF the consolidated mort
gage each bond issued would have been worth
it's pro rata share Of 50, %, q, 900 more than It'll
to-day. This, with interest, would be about
5000 00. 1t is 10 secure a proportionate
share OF this that the foreign bondholders
propose to bring their suit on the claim OF
wrongful deprivation, and that q court OF JUS
tice was improperly used to give color Of
legality to robbery. The case bids fair TO be
one OF the greatest lawsuits OF the day.

Aaron Burr's Dying Days.

Felix Oldboy in the New York Posi-.
During the last illness of Aaron Burr,
when he lay dying at New Brighton
my Uncle David was sent for to visit
him. He found his patient past help,
conscious of his doom and ready for it.
Alone, stunned on all sides, with no
friend to close his eyes, l have always
felt that he might have cried with Cain,
''My punishment is greater than | can
bear" My uncle found him silent
merose, shabby and cynical in the ex
treme-a most wonderful contrast 10
the brilliant statesman and elegant
leader of society whom he had met as
J a youth at Richmond Hill, his magniii
cent home in this city. Burr said t
my uncle that he was glad the end had
come, and that he had wanted to die
ever since his daughter Thcodosia had
disappeared on her last ocean voyage;
and then he broke forth into bitter de-
dunciation of the '.hounds who had
pursued him to the grave" | have
never wondered at his bitterness, and,
in spite of the prejudice of an entire
people, / lave always had COM
passion for Aaron Burr. The
man who fought so gallantly at Que

A Good New England Story.

Lewiston (Me.) Journal: When
William Pitt Fessenden was a student
in Bowdoin college the members of his
class assigned him to sing a song at a
public entertainment. He protested
that he did not have a musical voice,
and begged them to Reuse him. They
were indisposcd to accede to his re-
quest. but he told them n story which
brought them around. He said that in
his boyhood days he attended singing
school and thought he was making fine
progress. The school was to have n
public exhibition, and he went into the
attic of his fathers house one Sunday
to prepare for 1t. The old gentleman,
after hearing him practice for u few
moments, called out: Pitt, stop that
noise Immediately; people are going by
to meeting, and what will they think to
hear you up garnet saving boards, Sun
